English | ISBN: 161209841X | 2011 | 198 pages | PDF | 7 MB

Varicose veins are most common in the superficial veins of the legs, which are subject to high pressure when standing. This book presents topical research in the study of the symptoms, causes and treatments of varicose veins. Topics discussed include segmental failure of the vaso-regulatory function of venous microcirculation causing varicose veins; the role of inflammation in varicose vein pathology; treatment of varicose veins by ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy and diagnostic airplethysmography.

Therefore, melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer and its treatment continues to be challenging. This book presents topical research in the study of the symptoms, diagnoses and treatment of metastatic melanoma. Topics discussed include new therapeutic alternatives for melanoma; the metastatic cascade and experimental treatments; pediatric melanoma and the relative risk of metastatic melanoma.
